Dehydrated food can be a convenient staple food or emergency supplies at home, and it is also a common food in our kitchen. You can store many kinds of dry foods, such as beans, fruits and meats, at room temperature without worrying about their deterioration or damage. However, dehydrated foods have different properties from fresh foods. They may be unhealthy or more troublesome to use.
May be high calorie
Because dehydration is a process of removing water, dehydrated food has higher calories per ounce than fresh food. For example, dried fruit is lighter in weight and can be more easily applied to hiking than fresh fruit, but eating too much dried fruit can cause weight gain because it has a higher calorie content than fresh fruit. --Fresh apple slices weigh 4 ounces and contain 57 calories, while a cup of dehydrated apples weighs 1 ounce and contains 208 calories.
May be high in sugar
Dehydrated foods may contain sugar to increase flavor or act as a preservative, while sugar adds extra calories without providing additional essential nutrients. A cup of fresh blueberries weighs 5 ounces and contains 84-calories and 15 grams of sugar from natural sources, while 1/4 cup of dried sweetened blueberries weighs 1.4 ounces and contains 127-calories and 27 grams of sugar. Choose fresh fruit or choose unsweetened dried fruit varieties to limit your sugar consumption.
